Question

what is the difference between specular and diffused reflection? PLEASE GIVE ME AMSWER

Answer 1

A specular reflection is what you get from a polished surface, or mirror. It is clear, and you can see "through" the mirror. A diffuse reflection is what you get from a white wall. The light is bounced of it, but in random directions so you cannot see the light source in the reflection.

Answer 2

Reflection can be categorized into two categories, specular reflection, and diffused reflection.

• Specular reflection: It is defined as light reflected from a smooth surface at a definite angle. Smooth surfaces such as a mirror reflect all of the components of white light equally and the reflected light is of the same angle as the normal, as the incident light.
• Diffused reflection: It is produced by rough surfaces that reflect light in all directions. We observe diffuse reflection a lot more than specular reflection in the everyday environment. Rough surfaces like walls do not reflect all wavelengths as it absorbs a few components of light. Also, the reflected light, in this case, is scattered in all directions.

These are the major differences between specular reflection and diffused reflection.
